And lastly
introducing…. Lou and Trace! Two friends that meet years ago with 3 hours drive
distance between them hatch a plan!!! Let’s do a NZ run challenge blog… DT
check, sponsors check… lights, camera, action…

Lou runs a busy household of 4 children,
husband and little lifestyle block. Pink
obsessed and always up for a card or a layout, Lou is constantly trying to find
more time to craft, although with a 6, 5, and 2 year old plus a six month old
baby things can often be pretty tight on time. Lou is the brains and strict
task master of Southern Girls, making sure the girls have their projects in on
time, giving out DT badges, writing up posts and doing the occasional facelift
on the blog.

Trace works
full time, married and has two girls who keeps her extremely busy - Cameron
(12) who swims 6.30am doing squad training 7 days a week and comps… and Bailee
(9 going on 16 with attitude to boot) who has skating and swimming. Trace
manages to squeeze in an hour here and there, but mainly in the weekend in when
she gets to play in her craft room, she handles the sponsor side of southern
girls, from arranging the ladies into groups so the sponsors are evenly
showcased to getting the prizes out to our winners.

Welcome to Southern Girls Challenge,The challenges will be posted 3 weekly on a Thursday and are open to crafters worldwide. They close at 12.01 pm on the Tuesday of the second week.Each week there will be 2 prizes, one for Australian and New Zealand entries and another for entrants from the rest of the world.Only 3 entries per person on regular challenges and 1 on Anything Goes Challenges.Please when you add your link if you are from NZ or Australia then add AUS or NZ after your name.Please link using your post link not your blog link and link back to us in your post.
